alt Hacker NewsYah, I think the question really comes down to: what's so special about a block chain vs any other public record or database?
For example, it's just as easy - and more accessible - to put the code and example configurations with output in a github repository.
The special thing is that it’s decentralized. I know this discussion will not resolve and I’m not a blockchain zealot. I do think it’s an elegant decentralized storage system for algorithmic art where you make outputs definitive and collectible after initiating a run.
